Federal prosecutors will pursue the death penalty if Luigi Mangione is convicted of Murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Mangione is accused of killing the executive to send a political message and ignite widespread opposition to the healthcare industry.
The DOJ has filed a formal “notice of intent to seek the death penalty,” backed by Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Prosecutors say Mangione deliberately targeted a high-profile victim to maximize impact.
His defense calls the government’s move “barbaric” and politically motivated.
Mangione will plead not guilty to a four-count indictment, including firearm-related Murder.
